USA

The USA arrived at the current World Youth Championship as reigning champions. A year ago, the Americans won all four of their group matches before defeating Latvia 7-2 in the play-offs, Finland 3-2, and Sweden 6-2 in the final to claim the gold medal.

This year, the team is also doing well. In the group stage, they suffered a 2-3 extra-time defeat to Finland, but won over Germany 10-4, Latvia 5-1, and Canada 4-1 to finish at the top of their group.

Switzerland

Switzerland's performance at the World Youth Championship was less convincing. A year earlier, they finished at the bottom of their group and were knocked out by Sweden in the quarterfinals, where they put up a good fight but failed 3-2 in extra time.

The Reds and Whites had enough problems in the group stage. They lost 5-1 to the Czechs, 2-1 to the Slovaks, and 5-7 to the Swedes in their opening three games. But they defeated the Kazakhs 3-1 in the decisive match to finish fourth in the group and progress to the quarterfinals.

Expert Betting Tips

The USA are the reigning world champions. The Americans will be defending their title at the 2025 World Cup, so they will have no trouble overcoming their opponents. The Swiss team may have failed to make it out of the group stage and only just made it through to the play-offs against Kazakhstan, but they are not to be reckoned with when it comes to the USA team. As a result, we bet on the Americans to win.

In recent years, the two teams have played each other effectively. In the five previous meetings, the opponnets have scored 44 goals (8.80 average per game), with the Americans scoring 36 (7.20 average per game). On this basis, the US team's individual total is the best option for predicting the outcome.
